Rank em. Let's call modern day pitchers, one who've played in the last 20 years. The overall best.

Tom Glavine 305 W/ 203 L 3.54 ERA 2607 SO
Greg Maddox 355/227 3.16 ERA 3371 SO
Roger Clemens 354/184 3.12 ERA 4672 SO
Randy Johnson 300/164 3.28 4845 SO
Pedro Martinez 214/99 2.91 3117 SO
Kurt Shilling 216/146 3.46 3116 SO
John Smoltz 210/147 3.26 3011 154 Saves
Missing Any?

My take:

1. RJ- Huge SO #, 136 games over .500, very good era
2. GM- Almost had him #1, one of the lowest eras, 128 games over .500, 355 w's, dominant in his day
3. RC-could rank him higher than 3rd b/c of the roids. The stats say he's #1.
4. TG-305, dominant in the 90's, sheer #'s
5. JS- 154 saves is a real accomplishment, dominant stuff as a closer and starter, not done yet i guess
6. PM- Best era, a hof in my book, a little shy on longevity though
7. CS- great clutch performer
